The Dodge Brothers made this video in 1920 obviously to promote their rugged vehicle. I cannot imagine how the vehicle negotiates that mud without a limited slip differential. And the scene where they turn it back over and rol up thw unbroken windows is a true classic. It is hard to imagine a Jeep in 1942 doing what this dodge did in 1920.

Dodge would make a truck for WW II that as loater re branded as the Power Wagon.
